As quoted in the AP article:
"You'll all have to see. I'm not saying anything until we unveil it," Phelps said with a grin when asked how he's tweaked the stroke. "It's a significant change. You'll be able to tell exactly what I did as soon as I take my first stroke."
He's on tap to swim the 100- and 200-meter free and the 100 butterfly at the Charlotte UltraSwim in NC. Should be interesting to see.

Bousquet meant business. 48.2 is flying!
Craig Lord wrote on swimnews that there is "no way" Bousquet can swim as fast as he is doing without a Jaked suit. He said in an FS-Pro suit or any suit before 2007, Bousquet doesn't do these times.
My thought...he is wrong. I think there has to be a lot given to the mental side of an athlete, that once he/she has a major breakthrough, then it becomes much easier to repeat those preformances or even improve upon them.
Bousquet has had those breakthroughs the last 2 years...training under Brett Hawke, swimming the Cielo, Targett, Bovell, and improved suits. I think if the current suits are banned, Bousquet will still be swimming as super fast as he is in an FS Pro or similar suit because he know believes that he can swim long course as well as he does short course.
